Reliability Engineering & RCM: Industrial Systems Optimizati

Reliability-Centered Maintenance: Audit Checklists, Failure Analysis, PDCA Cycle & KPI Optimization

What you'll learn
- Master Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles and apply audit checklists to validate strategies, reduce downtime, and improve asset reliability.
- Learn to design and implement proactive maintenance plans using FMEA, PDCA cycles, and predictive KPIs to ensure safety, compliance, and cost efficiency.
- Develop complete RCM projects with SAE JA1011 and ISO 14224 standards, integrating risk-based strategies, failure analysis, and ROI-driven decision-making.
- Gain hands-on skills in CMMS/EAM systems, reliability modeling, and economic analysis to optimize asset performance and lead industrial maintenance programs.

Requirements
- No prior experience required – this course is beginner-friendly and designed for professionals and students interested in Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM). Basic technical knowledge of industrial operations, engineering, or maintenance is helpful but not mandatory. All key concepts will be explained step by step. Computer with internet access to follow the lessons, use templates, and practice with CMMS/EAM or reliability analysis tools when demonstrated. Curiosity and motivation to learn structured maintenance strategies, reliability engineering, and asset management best practices.

Description
Master the principles and practices ofReliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)and transform the way industrial organizations manage critical assets. This course provides a structured and practical approach toRCM program validation, audit checklists, and continuous improvement, helping professionals increase reliability, optimize costs, and ensure long-term operational excellence.

You will learn how to design, implement, and validate RCM strategies aligned with international standards such asSAE JA1011, ISO 14224, and ISO 55000. Through practical frameworks, you will explore how to define functions, identify failure modes, performFailure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and classify failure consequences with risk-based methodologies.

The course also focuses on the application of thePDCA cycle, ensuring continuous evolution of RCM practices with the integration ofleading and lagging indicatorssuch as MTBF, MTTR, downtime reduction, and cost-per-unit optimization. You will gain hands-on experience withCMMS/EAM systems(SAP PM, IBM Maximo, Infor EAM) and learn how automated reporting enhances audits and decision-making.

Designed for engineers, maintenance managers, asset reliability professionals, and operations leaders, this course bridges theory with practice. You will apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios, develop acomprehensive RCM plan, and deliver measurable results such asreduced failures, improved safety, and higher ROI.

By the end of this course, you will be fully equipped to leadRCM implementation projectsacross industries including energy, oil & gas, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and beyond—positioning yourself as a key driver of reliability, efficiency, and sustainable performance.

Who this course is for:
- This course is ideal for maintenance engineers, reliability professionals, asset managers, and operations leaders who want to master Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM). It is also valuable for engineering students, technical consultants, and industrial supervisors seeking practical methods to improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance costs. Beginners interested in asset management and industrial reliability will also find the course accessible, as all key concepts are explained step by step with real-world applications.
